Our speaker was Club member Bill Pettus, who spoke about his personal experiences as a 'railroader'. Any time Bill presents to the Club it is always a very entertaining speech and all attending have a good time hearing his interesting stories. Also attending were Larry Caywood from Gold Canyon Methodist Church Food Bank and Erik Arriola from Superstition Community Food Bank. Both Larry and Erik shared information about how needs at their respective food bank facilities have grown over the past year, as people have been impacted by the rising costs of food and living expenses. The Club presented each of the gentlemen with a check to help support their food banks.
